5 When installing wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8” of actual concrete

thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints. Besure to mount in a

solid part of the block, generally 1” (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. It is suggested that a

standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out

the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.

5 Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.

5 Concrete anchors are NOT intended for attachment to concrete walls covered with a layer of plaster, drywall,

or other finishing materials. If mounting to concrete wall covered with plaster/drywall is unavoidable,

plaster/drywall (up to 5/8” thick) must be counterbored. Be sure concrete anchors do not pull away from

concrete when tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8”, custom fasteners must be used.

5 Tighten the screws firmly, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the items, greatly reducing their

holding power.

Required Tools

Drill, level, 3/16” drill bit, 1/2” masonry bit for brick concrete or concrete block installations, wrench or socket set,

NOTE

Not all bolts, lock washers, spacers, and washers are used during the installation.

To mount the VM032, VM042(H) or VM047 series system(s) onto the wall, please follow the steps below.

Mounting Monitor Brackets to the System

STEP 1

The VM042(H) system uses M6x35 bolts for the

monitor brackets. Thread the M6x35 bolt through an

M6 lock washer, an M6/M8 washer, the monitor

bracket (BB/CC) and finally into the monitor system

(left).

STEP 2

Repeat the above process for the remaining monitor

bracket.

NOTE

Make sure the monitor brackets are vertically

centered and level with each other.

Mounting the Wall Plate

Wood Stud Mounting

STEP 1

Select the location on the wall for wall plate. Make

sure there are sufficient spacing as mentioned in the

previous section between the monitor and walls when

selecting the location.

STEP 2

The wall plate (AA) must be mounted to two wood

studs at least 16” (406mm) apart. Use a stud sensor

to locate two adjacent studs. It is a good idea to verify

where the studs are located with an awl or thin nail

shown left.

STEP 3

Pre-drill a 2-1/2” (64mm) deep hole at the desired

height in each stud using a 3/16” drill bit. Make sure

these holes are in the center area of the studs and

level with each other. Use the wall plate as a

template to mark the location of the second hole in

each stud.

STEP 4

Drill 2-1/2” (64mm) deep holes using the 3/16” drill bit

in the marked locations.

STEP 5

Attach the wall plate to the wall using 4 pieces of 1/4”x2-1/2” lag bolts and 4 pieces of lag bolt washers. Make

sure the wall plate is oriented so the flat surface in the center of the plate is against the wall and that a set of lag

bolts is on each side of the two large holes in the center as shown above.

Brick, Solid Concrete and Concrete Block Mounting

STEP 1

Use the wall plate (AA) as a template to mark six hole locations on the wall. The outer holes must fall to the left

and right of the two holes in the middle of the plate; three in the top row of slots and three more in the bottom

row. Make sure the holes are level and there is at least 6” (152mm) distance between any two holes.

STEP 2

Pre-drill the holes with a 1/2” drill bit to at least 2-1/2” (64mm) in depth.

STEP 3

Insert a concrete anchor into each holes that were drilled in

the previous step. Make sure the anchor is seated completely

flush with the concrete surface. Use a hammer if the anchor

does not seat properly.

NOTE

Concrete anchors are not intended for attachment to concrete walls covered with a layer of plaster, drywall, or

other finishing material. If mounting to concrete walls covered with plaster or drywall is unavoidable,

plaster/drywall (up to 5/8” thick) must be counterbored as shown below.

Hanging the Monitor onto the Wall Plate

STEP 1

First hook the monitor brackets over the top of the

wall plate as shown left, then let the bottom of the

monitor brackets swing in under the bottom of the

wall plate.

STEP 2

Once the system has been installed properly on the

wall plate, the horizontal position of the system can

be adjusted. The black knobs on are used to adjust

the tilt position of the monitor. Loosen both knobs

and adjust the tilt of the monitor until satisfied then

tighten both knobs. The monitor can be tilted up or

down by 15°.

NOTE

When loosening the tilt adjustment knobs, the monitor may suddenly tilt downwards and cause injury or damage.

Make sure to hold the monitor firmly when adjusting the tilt of the monitor to prevent injury or damage.

Page 21

STEP 3

Once the system is in place, insert the safety bar into

the slots in the bottom of the monitor brackets so that

it sits behind the bottom tab on the wall plate as

shown left. The bend at the end of the safety bar

should face toward the wall. Once the safety bar

passes out the other side of the wall plate, a padlock

can be added to the hole at the end of the safety bar

for additional security.

Using the Monitor Stand (Optional)

STEP 1

Using a Philips screwdriver, tighten six screws as

shown on the left to install the optional monitor stand.

NOTE

To prevent scratching the screen, set a cloth on a flat,

level surface that will support the weight of the

screen. Place screen face side down. Place monitor

stand bracket on back of screen and align to holes.

NOTE

The vertical position of the monitor may be adjusted

by changing the hole positions.

PNP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play) feature. PCI, or Peripheral

Component Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the

CPU itself uses when communicating with its special components. This section covers some very technical

items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users make any changes to the default settings.

Primary Graphic’s Adapter

This setting specifies which graphics card is your primary graphics adapter.

PCI Latency Timer

This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over. When set to higher

values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI

bandwidth. For better PCI performance, you should set the item to higher values.

PCI Slot 1/2 IRQ

These items specify the IRQ line for each PCI slot.

IRQ Resource Setup

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:

IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15

These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used. The settings determines if AMIBIOS

should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the

Page 50

system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be

removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning a

[Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are

configured as [Available]. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to the onboard PCI

IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices.

NOTE

IRQ (interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain

attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. After receiving the signal, when the

operating system ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the I/O device.

H/W Monitor

Chassis Intrusion

The field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusion status and issuing a warning

message if the chassis is once opened. To clear the warning message, set the field to [Reset]. The setting of

the field will automatically return to [Enabled] later.

CPU/SYS Smart Fan Target

The mainboard provides the Smart Fan function which can control the CPU/System fan speed automatically

depending on the current temperature to keep it with in a specific range. You can select a fan target value here.

If the current CPU/System fan temperatures reach the target value, the smart fan function will be activated. It

provides several selections to speed up or cool down automatically.

PC Health Status

CPU/System Temperature, CPU FAN/SYS FAN1 Speed, CPU Vcore, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 3VSB

These items display the current status of all the monitored hardware devices/components such as CPU

Advanced DRAM Configuration

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:

Configuration of DRAM Timing by SPD

Setting to [Enabled] enables DRAM CAS# Latency to be automatically determined by BIOS based on the

configurations of the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) EEPROM on the DRAM module.

Page 52

DRAM CAS# Latency

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. This controls the

CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command

after receiving it.

DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. When DRAM is

refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the

timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The smaller the

clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance.

DRAM RAS# Precharge

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], this field is adjustable. This field is

adjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed for

precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh

may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is

installed in the system.

DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], this field is adjustable. This field is

adjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed for

precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh

may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is

installed in the system.

DRAM TRFC

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. This setting

determines the time RFC takes to read from and write to a memory cell.

DRAM TWR

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Minimum time

interval between end of write data burst and the start of a precharge command. Allows sense amplifiers to

restore data to cells.

DRAM TWTR

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Minimum time

interval between end of write data burst and the start of a column-read command. It allows I/O gating to

overdrive sense amplifiers before read command starts.

DRAM TRRD

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Specifies the

active-to-active delay of different banks. Time interval between a read and a precharge command.

DRAM TRTP

When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Time interval

between a read and a precharge command.

FSB/Memory Ratio

This item will allow you to adjust the FSB/Ratio of memory.

Adjusted DDR Memory Frequency

It shows the adjusted DDR memory frequency. Read-only.

Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency

When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and PCI slots to minimize the

electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Memory Voltage (V)

This item will allow you to adjust the Memory voltage.

Page 53

PCI Express Voltage

This item will allow you to adjust the PCI Express voltage.

Spread Spectrum

When the mainboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses create EMI

(Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the

pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave

the setting at Disabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, set to

Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a

slighter jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor

to lock up.

NOTE

1. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system stability and

performance. Bit if you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.

2. The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the system will become less

stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.

3. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a

temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

Load Fail-Safe/Optimized Defaults

The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS settings to the default Fail-Safe or

Optimized values. The Optimized Defaults are the default values set by the mainboard manufacturer specifically

for optimal performance of the mainboard. The Fail-Safe Defaults are the default values set by the BIOS vendor

for stable system performance.

When you select Load Fail-Safe Defaults, a message appears as below:

Pressing [Ok] loads the BIOS default values for the most stable, minimal system performance.

When you select Load Optimized Defaults, a message as below appears:

Pressing [Ok] loads the default factory settings for optimal system performance.

BIOS Setting Password

When you select this function, a message as below will appear on the screen:

Page 54

Type the password, up to six characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will replace any

previously set password from CMOS memory. You will be prompted to confirm the password. Retype the

password and press <Enter>. You may also press <ESC> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will

show up confirming the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you

can enter Setup without entering any password.

When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents

an unauthorized perform from changing any part of your system configuration.
